English & Literature Who is Lena's Mother from I Hadn't Meant to Tell You This and what is their importance? Asked by bookragstutor on 25 Oct 12:59 Last updated by anonymous on 26 Oct 18:26
Lena's mother died of breast cancer leaving Lena and her sister, Dion with only their father. We get a sense that the mother was a peace maker in the family and that she shielded the girls as much as she could.
